Description

Inspired by the popularity of our Matcha Super Green tea (first flush matcha blended with first and second flush sencha) we developed a super-premium version with organic gyokuro. Whereas Matcha Super Green highlights the fresh bittersweet character of sencha, Matcha Gyokuro has a smoother profile that delivers a rich concentration of umami and a silky, creamy finish unlike any other green tea we've ever formulated. L-theanine junkies rejoice!

Tasting Notes

Top shelf green tea combining first flush matcha with gyokuro for the most vivid emerald green infusion and lush umami flavor.

The taste was kinda flat and stewed. I have plain (not mixed with matcha) gyokuro tea bags from a different company. They were much sweeter and better tasting. I tried brewing it at different times and temperatures. At first I thought they sent me their Matcha Super Green by mistake; the tea tasted more like their matcha/sencha blend, but not as good. Maybe the matcha they are using is of a lower grade and it appears not to be powdered. Rishi should do a plain(no blend) Gyokuro, which I'm sure would taste great. I have some plain Sencha tea bags from Rishi which are very good. I think the blends are messing up the pure taste of the teas.
